How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?
If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle
What if youknow one length of a right triangle and not the other leg or hypotenuse?
If you also know the measure of one of the acute angles, you can calculate all of the missing pieces. But if you only know the length of the one leg and nothing else, then you don't have enough information to calculate anything else.
How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
What is the length of the long leg for this 30-60-90 triangle?
We can't calculate that until we know the length of either of the other sides. All we know now is that the longer leg is -- sqrt(3) times the shorter leg, and -- sqrt(3)/2 times the hypotenuse
When A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 20 and a leg of length 12 what is the length of the other length?
The other leg length is 16.

What angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length?
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
When A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 20 and a leg of length 12 what is the length of the other length?
The other leg length is 16.
He length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. Fin?
The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
A right triangle has a leg the length of 19 an the base the length of 12 what is the last leg length?
It depends on whether the leg of length 19 is the hypotenuse or not. If it is then the length of the other leg = sqrt(192 - 122) = sqrt(217) = 14.731 units If not, then the length of the other leg (which is the hypotenuse) = sqrt(192 + 122) = sqrt(505) = 22.472 units.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 25 and a leg of length 15 What is the length of the other leg?
20 units
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 and the length of one leg is 8 what is the length of the other leg?
6
In a 30-60-90 triangle if the shorter leg has length p then the longer leg has length and the hypotenuse has length?
Use the rule that the shortest leg has length p, the other leg has length 2p and the hypotenuse has length p*sqrt(3) Where sqrt(number) if the square root of the number.
One leg of a right triangle is 6 inches long the other leg is 8 inches long is the length of the hypotenuse a rational or irrational number?
You have to use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the hypoteneuse.
